Help! Why Can't I do this?

NOt sure I understand the question?  You just want to promote that site without attaching yourself or your broker to it?? 

If that is the case; I know most states do not allow that.  At the very least you have to put your broker and their contact info on it. 

When you have a Real Estate licence it is all about  disclose  disclose  disclose - so that a customer can never say "I didnt know this person was a Realtor"?

Hmmmm, I'm confused too.  I think that your broker is wrong.  If you wanted to put up a billboard that had nothing on it except, "www.oakridgetennesseehomes.com" on it, you should be fully within your rights.

What I think that he's thinking is that once you get to that site, it has to disclose that you're a licensed agent.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, before you hold Realtor.com in such high regards, look into the relationship between NAR and Move, Inc. (the private company that gets to use our "official" site as it's own.)

Anona- If I understand you right, here is my thought.  One of the websites I have is for home valuation/lead capturing.  I called my city office to find out what the city's rules were on advertising my website.  They said that being as it is not for a specific property, I cannot put signs up around town during business hours, M-F.  So, I said "what about Friday eve until Sunday eve?"  She told me that there are no rules on that.  So, call your city and see what their rules are.  Do your due diligence and there are usually loop holes if you search deep enough.  Just remember to stay ethical.  Best of Luck!
